Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: So last night's first round of the NFL Draft got
Speaker 2: started at eight o'clock. Tonight they'll start at seven, and
Speaker 2: of course it'll go late into the evening. And you know,
Speaker 2: I said it right before we went to break. I
Speaker 2: really do believe it's one of the one of the
Speaker 2: better values you'll get as far as you know, it's
Speaker 2: not appointment viewing necessarily, but you still see a lot
Speaker 2: of players that you recognize in the second and third
Speaker 2: round of the NFL Draft, and obviously you still get
Speaker 2: really good value in the second and third round. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think being a second and third round pick, really
Speaker 2: there's rare situations where you're like, wow, can you believe
Speaker 2: that guy felled in number two? I mean, I think
Speaker 2: we're hearing that now because of of Shador Sanders and
Speaker 2: just the thought that like maybe everybody was believing the
Speaker 2: hype and somebody's gonna take him in like the top ten.
Speaker 2: Clearly that didn't happen, but I mean I would imagine
Speaker 2: there's some guys. Look, there's guys who've never were never
Speaker 2: drafted they ended up having great, impactful NFL careers that
Speaker 2: really left the mark and changed a franchise in a
Speaker 2: positive way. So but as far as just like best
Speaker 2: players still available, I mean, I'm just looking here who's
Speaker 2: expected to be taken tonight in round two and round three,
Speaker 2: and I don't. I mean, maybe it's just because I'm
Speaker 2: not as polished as I usually and when it comes
Speaker 2: to just knowing who's out there and who's really good.
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't feel like there's like names
Speaker 2: that really pop, like Wow, that guy, he's going to
Speaker 2: be special, And I feel like usually you say that
Speaker 2: in the second round. Again, none of us really know
Speaker 2: how any of this is going to work out. There
Speaker 2: are countless examples of players at every position where you
Speaker 2: thought it was going to be a can't mispick and
Speaker 2: then didn't work out, or a guy that you couldn't
Speaker 2: believe somebody drafted and wow it ended up being, you know, phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Traveon Henderson is believed to be the first guy off
Speaker 2: the board tonight. Obviously he's gonna be h the Nick
Speaker 2: Chubb replacement for the Browns, at least that's probably what
Speaker 2: they're envisioning. If in fact they take him and then
Speaker 2: Luther Burden for Missouri receiver. He's a really talented guy
Speaker 2: and I liked him too. Yeah, I like him a lot.
Speaker 2: I feel like he didn't have I mean, again, he's
Speaker 2: still had a lot of hype, and clearly, if he
Speaker 2: goes in the second round, that's still a guy that clearly,
Speaker 2: if he's a pick thirty five, that's still something that
Speaker 2: tells you the NFL things a lot of him. But
Speaker 2: I just got he came back, which surprised a lot
Speaker 2: of people to Missouri last year, and he was still good,
Speaker 2: but like he was one of those guys that had
Speaker 2: so much momentum in twenty twenty three that like, I'm
Speaker 2: not really sure what he could have done to kind
Speaker 2: of exceed the momentum. So it's almost kind of like
Speaker 2: he's kind of somebody that people not forget about necessarily,
Speaker 2: but just you know, he's been he's been in the
Speaker 2: same spot for quite a while. And again, not a
Speaker 2: totally fair comparison, I suppose, but I think that's the
Speaker 2: same way with Ashton Jilatte. He's not gonna be taken
Speaker 2: in the second round or probably the third round, But
Speaker 2: I mean he had so like he's somebody that really
Speaker 2: I think he was at his peak as far as
Speaker 2: buzz and real you know, love from the NFL right
Speaker 2: after his junior season. But he decided to come back,
Speaker 2: and I don't think he took a step back as
Speaker 2: a senior. Maybe the numbers weren't quite as impressive, but
Speaker 2: I think if you pay attention, it's because it's because
Speaker 2: clearly he'd been established to a point where he was
Speaker 2: going to get a lot of attention, including double and
Speaker 2: triple team nearly every play. Looking out looking at at
Speaker 2: some other names. He did talk about this earlier as
Speaker 2: far as quarterbacks, Jylen Milroe, and I'm gonna look up
Speaker 2: a different actually, Austin. You see if you can do
Speaker 2: a quick little Google search, my man, and just see
Speaker 2: she google second and third round mock draft and click
Speaker 2: on the first one you see that's from a reputable
Speaker 2: outlet that's not NFL dot Com. Because I just want
Speaker 2: to see if there's a difference here, because what I
Speaker 2: have here, and again I don't trust one mock draft
Speaker 2: guy more than the other. I just grabbed the first
Speaker 2: one that popped up here, and they have Milroe going
Speaker 2: fortieth okay, I side pulled up. Okay, so Milroe's going
Speaker 2: fortieth to the to the Saints here, meaning he would
Speaker 2: be the third quarterback off the board, and then the
Speaker 2: next quarterback would be Tyler Shuck if this accurate, because
Speaker 2: they've got shut going at pick number fifty two to
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks, and then they have the Browns taking
Speaker 2: shit Or Sanders in the third round tonight with one
Speaker 2: of their first picks in the it's actually the third
Speaker 2: pick in the third round, which again, maybe that happens,
Speaker 2: but I think if the Browns really like shitt Or Sanders,
Speaker 2: they would have taken him last night, because I just,
Speaker 2: you know, I doubt that they didn't take him and
Speaker 2: really liked him because they were they were well aware
Speaker 2: he'd still be there in the third. So if they
Speaker 2: take him in the third, maybe they like maybe they
Speaker 2: think to themselves they like him. However, you know, they
Speaker 2: didn't like him for a first or a second, but hey,
Speaker 2: we'll take a shot on him as a third because
Speaker 2: you know, why not. He's got that high upside to
Speaker 2: where you know, maybe he does pop and he's really
Speaker 2: really really good. I mean, somebody said this to me
Speaker 2: the other day. And I'd never thought about it, but
Speaker 2: every team in the NFL passed on Lamar Jackson. Hence
Speaker 2: the reason actually who didn't have a pick in the
Speaker 2: first round because they didn't pass on him. But like,
Speaker 2: I don't think they would have taken him. Whoever it
Speaker 2: was the Ravens actually passed on Lamar. I don't people
Speaker 2: remember that or not. The Ravens first drafted in the
Speaker 2: first round Hayden Hurst, who was a tight end who yeah,
Speaker 2: came from playing baseball as a pro to then playing
Speaker 2: like one or two years as a tight end at
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and then of course he became a first
Speaker 2: round pick and he's bounced around the NFL. But anyways,
Speaker 2: like if the Ravens didn't take him at pick thirty two,
Speaker 2: I mean, given that, really there didn't seem to be
Speaker 2: many other teams that were interested in him. I mean
Speaker 2: I shouldn't. I mean, we'll never know. And it's a
Speaker 2: silly hypothetical because it's many years later, but I wonder
Speaker 2: where Lamar would have gone because there's a lot of
Speaker 2: guys I guarantee you that are off the board the
Speaker 2: first round that had that team not really liked them,
Speaker 2: they might have gone fourth or fifth round. I mean,
Speaker 2: we'll never know, but you know, I just think with Sanders,
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's with his position, you know, quarterback,
Speaker 2: which is clearly really really important, and he goes past
Speaker 2: the second round and nobody takes him, that's the full
Speaker 2: on confirmation that the NFL does not believe any of
Speaker 2: the hype. Really, he'll still get drafted, but it could
Speaker 2: end up being one of those teams that doesn't need
Speaker 2: a quarterback. But they're like, Okay, we didn't expect this
Speaker 2: guy to be available because we thought some some you know,
Speaker 2: some team would be too you know, too eager to
Speaker 2: take a quarterback because they just can't resist the urge
Speaker 2: to go get a new franchise quarterback. But we will know,
Speaker 2: we know we're gonna need somebody before too long, so
Speaker 2: why not take a chance here?
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 2: The Jaguar did you see did you see Travis Hunter?
Speaker 2: Ad meant last night? I don't even know if the
Speaker 2: Jags wanted to say, but he was just being honest.
Speaker 2: Did you hear Travis Hunter last night? Austin say that
Speaker 2: Jags were one of the teams that did not talk
Speaker 2: to him at all, Like they didn't show any like
Speaker 2: they they did not, like he had no clue he
Speaker 2: was gonna they were going to trade up to get him,
Speaker 2: because they didn't. They didn't, they didn't. Here's what I
Speaker 2: would imagine. They probably just didn't expect him to be there,
Speaker 2: so they just knew, like, the only scenario we need
Speaker 2: to like think about him is if we want to
Speaker 2: trade up. And then they got close to it and
Speaker 2: they decided to do that. Also, I don't know if
Speaker 2: people realize this or remember this. You probably don't and
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter now, but the Jazz traded up to
Speaker 2: get Donovan Mitchell. Yes, the Jazz never interviewed him. The
Speaker 2: Jazz never talked to him.
Speaker 3: I don't remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jazz never. The Jazz were never a team
Speaker 2: that that that had Like of all the NFL or
Speaker 2: the NBA teams that were in on Donovan that like
Speaker 2: he was talking to trying to get a feel him
Speaker 2: and his agent as far as what the interest level was,
Speaker 2: the Jazz were not one of them. And sure enough
Speaker 2: they didn't just take him. They traded up to get him.
Speaker 2: So there's got to be a strategy to that that.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but like you don't
Speaker 2: on Draft day, fall in love with a guy that
Speaker 2: you that you intentionally did not interview, and like, really
Speaker 2: do your vetting as far as you know, one on one.
Speaker 2: So it was what's your what's your mock draft looking like?
Speaker 3: On sioked?
Speaker 4: I looked at two of them because I went to
Speaker 4: SI and then after that I just went straight to
Speaker 4: athlon sports. But they're almost the same. So I'm gonna
Speaker 4: start with the Athlon Sports since that's first one. I
Speaker 4: have one here. First quarterback they have going as Jaln
Speaker 4: Milroe to the Browns at thirty six, okay, and then
Speaker 4: the very next pick being Shadoor to the Raiders, which
Speaker 4: I could totally see that happening, and then a few
Speaker 4: more picks after that the Saints snagging Tyler Tyler Shuck
Speaker 4: at forty. SI also says the same thing about Shuck
Speaker 4: at forty to the Saints, but they also have and
Speaker 4: just they also had the Browns picking same thing they
Speaker 4: outside the brown or they had the Browns picking Shadoor
Speaker 4: at three and then at forty is when they have
Speaker 4: Tyler Shook, and then they don't have Milroe going till
Speaker 4: the Raiders until pick sixty eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean again, maybe this is just recency where
Speaker 2: I'm just like, you know not, I kind of feel
Speaker 2: like the NFL, like, no matter what year it is,
Speaker 2: no matter what the draft looks like, everybody's just guessing
Speaker 2: as far as what teams are actually gonna do. And
Speaker 2: sometimes we don't even need to think about it. We
Speaker 2: know what they're gonna do because it's pretty obvious just
Speaker 2: with the way things align. But I kind of feel
Speaker 2: like with this quarterback crop being one that like everybody
Speaker 2: is aware of that it's not a great class. And yes,
Speaker 2: everybody knows that there's certain NFL teams that just need
Speaker 2: It's not like they're going to be greedy and overthink
Speaker 2: it and try to envision a guy being somebody that
Speaker 2: he's not. Like, put it this way, the Steelers, it
Speaker 2: would be downright irresponsible for them not to draft a quarterback, right,
Speaker 2: I mean they've got Mason Rudolph, that's it. And yeah,
Speaker 2: they could go do something in free agency, but like,
Speaker 2: if the Steelers don't take a quarterback, like, what are
Speaker 2: they gonna do? There's no way. And again, the Steelers
Speaker 2: are the kind of team that will do whatever they
Speaker 2: want to do and not worry about what anybody thinks
Speaker 2: and to their credit, they've also been a franchise that
Speaker 2: many times people look like, how would you not pay
Speaker 2: this guy? Why are you not taking care of your
Speaker 2: offensive linemen? And why are you keeping Tomlin? And more
Speaker 2: often than not, they've been able to get the last laugh,
Speaker 2: and they make the right decisions that they don't put
Speaker 2: any like, they don't factor in a motion or what
Speaker 2: anybody else is going to say. They just make decisions
Speaker 2: that they feel like are best for them. So you know,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe they won't take a quarterback and somehow they'll
Speaker 2: get something to work out and it'll be great. Maybe
Speaker 2: they get Rogers to come to Pittsburgh. I don't think
Speaker 2: he wants to come to Pittsburgh. So you know, the
Speaker 2: Steelers like to me, they have at times, I think,
Speaker 2: been really wise to not do what other NFL teams do,
Speaker 2: and that is that just the scenario I used earlier
Speaker 2: is just they've been able to see a guy for
Speaker 2: who he is and not get you know, why not
Speaker 2: get wide eyed and dreamy about a quarterback and envision
Speaker 2: them being something that they're not. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: last night that's what the freaking Giants did. Like I
Speaker 2: don't I think the Giant, the New York Giants sees
Speaker 2: something in Jackson Dart that nobody else sees. Again, he's
Speaker 2: not bad, It's not like they drafted some dude who
Speaker 2: couldn't start at all, miss but like, to me, that's
Speaker 2: just a force. And like they they they last night. Again,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe maybe it works out differently and we're all wrong,
Speaker 2: but to me, that just screams busted. And sometimes you know,
Speaker 2: there are guys who you can just tell from a
Speaker 2: mile away that's gonna be a disaster, and it usually
Speaker 2: ends up being a disaster. I mean, And that to me,
Speaker 2: I think that's what's gonna happen with Jackson Dart. But
Speaker 2: I would love for the Steelers to take to take
Speaker 2: Shuck because you know, they're they're pretty good elsewhere. I
Speaker 2: mean they've got I mean they've got DK Metcalf. Now
Speaker 2: who's there, who's their top receiver who broke out recently
Speaker 2: that's been I mean a really good weapon for him
Speaker 2: for the Steelers. Yes, Picks, Yes, Pickens. And then obviously
Speaker 2: they're they're always pretty set defensively and they're a well
Speaker 2: run organization to where like they wouldn't need Schuck to
Speaker 2: come in and and and you know they wouldn't demand him.
Speaker 2: All right, look, you got to make something happen here.
Speaker 2: You got to work your magic. We drafted you in
Speaker 2: the second round, and you know it's on you.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: They would never do this, They would never position it
Speaker 2: like this. But a lot of times you draft this,
Speaker 2: this new quarterback that's going to change your franchise, and
Speaker 2: and I think you know it's it's not realistic. But
Speaker 2: the hope is that he's so good that he elevates
Speaker 2: your team. But if your team is so bad like meeting,
Speaker 2: you're the Titans and you're drafted number you're the number
Speaker 2: one pick because you're the worst team, that quarterback could
Speaker 2: be a billion times better than what you think he
Speaker 2: is as the number one pick, and it still might
Speaker 2: not result in you being much better because you know
Speaker 2: you were terrible initially. And football is the one sport
Speaker 2: where not one guy can do it. I mean, what
Speaker 2: did you say, Alstin that they've already elevated the the
Speaker 2: the win totals for for the Titans, like by six
Speaker 2: games because of cam Ward.
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, that that's what Jay Mack was talking about.
Speaker 3: That's what Jackson.
Speaker 4: He says from three wins to nine wins just by
Speaker 4: getting cam Ward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean him and what army and if and
Speaker 2: if they do it's because the divisions lousy. But I
Speaker 2: don't think that's real lost. They're not being the Texans,
Speaker 2: They're not beating I mean, I mean, the Titans were
Speaker 2: worse than the Jags. I mean the Titans were the
Speaker 2: number one pick for a reason.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: let's not spaage Jason McIntire's name. Remember he had that
Speaker 4: great analysis on that one Auburn player that had the
Speaker 4: good crossover.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's got this great crossover. Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 2: he likes to shoot the three. Like just just just
Speaker 2: filler words because he doesn't know how to talk about basketball.
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, he's he's uh, he brings energy and
Speaker 2: he does not shot away from sharing sharing opinions. But
Speaker 2: he also at times, you know, is kind of right.
Speaker 2: You know, he's j Max. So anyways, real quick, before
Speaker 2: we get to a break and then we come back.
Speaker 2: When we do, it's really important. And that is the
Speaker 2: official draft, and that is our fast food item draft
Speaker 2: five rounds. Austin and I I have no clue what
Speaker 2: to expect because you know, you and I we've become
Speaker 2: pretty close over the years. But I don't really know
Speaker 2: a lot about your palette, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not sure what your go to is
Speaker 2: when you're when you're hitting the drive through to get
Speaker 2: some lunch. But all I know is, and I said
Speaker 2: this Austin earlier, we're going to be hungry as hell
Speaker 2: when this ends. Like I know that's going to happen.
Speaker 2: But before we do that, real quick, just to kind
Speaker 2: of reset something that I that I threw out there
Speaker 2: earlier that I don't think anybody really is is acknowledging, or
Speaker 2: maybe it's because I'm the only one that sees it
Speaker 2: this way. But when it comes to Shador Sanders, you know,
Speaker 2: it's now being positioned as if like he's a victim
Speaker 2: here and like he was entitled and he earned a
Speaker 2: first round draft pick, like he earned he earned a
Speaker 2: spot in the first round. And you know, last night
Speaker 2: you've got booger McFarland, and I mean even Rich Eisen
Speaker 2: kind of said something along the lines of what what
Speaker 2: what what others have been saying, which is that there's
Speaker 2: certain things about shit or that people look at as
Speaker 2: a red flag. They criticize it, whereas if it was
Speaker 2: another quarterback, it would be viewed as like a strength
Speaker 2: because he's got confidence, he's got belief in himself. And
Speaker 2: he's not he's cool, he's he's not, you know, he's
Speaker 2: never stressing out there. And like that may be true,
Speaker 2: but like nobody's entitled to be drafted, Like you can't.
Speaker 2: You don't earn a spot in the draft. You have
Speaker 2: to like somebody has to want to pick you. And again,
Speaker 2: the analogy that I use is like, well, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: I've been working my ass off. I've been losing weight.
Speaker 2: I've been you know, I've been. I've been working on myself.
Speaker 2: I got a good tan going on, I've been in
Speaker 2: the gym. I got the low te figured out thanks
Speaker 2: to doctor Wood at the Louisville Men's Clinics. So listen up,
Speaker 2: you know, Margo Roby, I need I need a date.
Speaker 2: I earned it. Like that's not how it works, like you.
Speaker 2: I mean, like that's again, if you have if you
Speaker 2: are undefeated and you miss the tournament or missed the playoff,
Speaker 2: like that's a different conversation. The draft is not about
Speaker 2: earning anything. You have to sell yourself and somebody like
Speaker 2: the draft is all about a decision, not about a result,
Speaker 2: not about not about a victory or accomplishments. So like, yep,
Speaker 2: maybe he is going to prove everybody wrong. But the
Speaker 2: fact that some are already acting like he's a victim
Speaker 2: and he's robbed, I mean, like nobody's entitled to be
Speaker 2: drafted at all, because again, the people drafting have to
Speaker 2: they have to pick you, and they might not be
Speaker 2: picking him for a variety of reasons. But like he
Speaker 2: could have been a billion times better than he actually
Speaker 2: was and it would have not led to him actually
Speaker 2: being entitled to be taken. It's just, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know why people can't understand that, Like, the draft
Speaker 2: is not a game. The draft is not a competition
Speaker 2: at all. I quick break will go back on the
Speaker 2: other side and get to the real draft, the fast
Speaker 2: food item draft right here on Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 1: Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 1: on Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: So for those that were expecting to to go to
Speaker 2: the Louis of Bats game today, they were supposed to
Speaker 2: be playing I think as we speak. However, they game
Speaker 2: got rained out, just like yesterday. So it turns out
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a double header tomorrow and you will
Speaker 2: hear the action right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: All right, so we got about thirty minutes left, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to try not to make this as lengthy
Speaker 2: as as I typically do when it comes to drafts,
Speaker 2: because I just kind of get, you know, I just
Speaker 2: get they're fun, they're fun to do, and I kind
Speaker 2: of feel like we wouldn't It wouldn't be a mistake
Speaker 2: to like make it'd be hard to come up with
Speaker 2: good stuff consistently, but like there should be a day
Speaker 2: every week where we do some kind of draft like this,
Speaker 2: because I feel like Fridays are perfect for yah, because
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people, you know, I
Speaker 2: mean decompressing, Yeah, I mean I think about something else.
Speaker 2: I don't know who wouldn't have opinions or interest in
Speaker 2: like thinking of you know best. You know, we were
Speaker 2: doing fast We're gonna do fast food menu items here,
Speaker 2: but like you could do all kinds of stuff like
Speaker 2: we did. We did rom coms on Valentine's Day, that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: So yeah, people could text that they want to see
Speaker 4: what kind of stuff that they would like to hear
Speaker 4: on them we would love to get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, that's that's a great idea because they could
Speaker 2: give us some good suggestions that we would never think of.
Speaker 2: You know that that might make perfect sense. So yeah,
Speaker 2: if you have any any suggestions of things you think
Speaker 2: would be an interesting draft, please be sure to let
Speaker 2: us know. All right, So, uh, I'm going to give
Speaker 2: you the first pick here all right and see what
Speaker 2: you what you like to do, so so it can
Speaker 2: be just so you know, it can be you know,
Speaker 2: fast food. I think everybody kind of has a good
Speaker 2: grasp of what is truly considered fast food. I think
Speaker 2: when it comes to like a sit down restaurant fast
Speaker 2: casual if you will, that that's where there's a little
Speaker 2: bit of a gray area because like you know, for example, Chipotle,
Speaker 2: they're putting up one near my home, and across the
Speaker 2: street from that there's a Chili's. I think those are
Speaker 2: different types of restaurants. I think I think Chipotle would
Speaker 2: qualify more so as fast casual, whereas I think Chili's
Speaker 2: is a sit down restaurant. So so, you know, I
Speaker 2: think fast casual could could be included. But like a
Speaker 2: menuided from like a Chili's or a you know.
Speaker 4: It's not accessible through like a drive through where you're
Speaker 4: pulling up you need something, right.
Speaker 2: And honestly, this is this is a way that I
Speaker 2: kind of separate. Do they serve booze? You know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Like do they have a bar? That's true
Speaker 2: because like the fast casuals usually don't. Some of them.
Speaker 2: You can get a beer, but like it's in that
Speaker 2: little it's just sitting an ice up there to where
Speaker 2: it's like you know, and they probably don't sell a
Speaker 2: whole lot of them, but they do have it available, right,
Speaker 2: you can get one where the other day, Actually it's
Speaker 2: been a while I was at get a beer Chili
Speaker 2: can't you? Oh yeah, well Chilis has a bar, but
Speaker 2: Chipotle you can't police, I don't think you can't. But
Speaker 2: like it, but it mos they have like I could
Speaker 2: get I could get one, but like you know, it's
Speaker 2: I felt like I was looking like a real drunk
Speaker 2: because nobody else seems to go there to drink, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Yeah, So anyways, the floor is
Speaker 2: yours first pick. You're on the clock. Who you got?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: This one is a controversial one. And if you've never
Speaker 4: had it before and you always like to rag on it,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm gonna go with it.
Speaker 3: If I'm put.
Speaker 4: If there's a dream I could go right now and
Speaker 4: get this thing through a drive in, I'm going with
Speaker 4: the In and Out Burger double double animal style. Okay
Speaker 4: it is, And I don't know where all the hate
Speaker 4: comes from. And for some odd reason they've grown a
Speaker 4: rivalry with water Burger, which I also do love Waterburger,
Speaker 4: but both can be great, right, both are great, but
Speaker 4: there's something about I remember when they first built the
Speaker 4: In and Out Burger in Tucson when I was living there,
Speaker 4: and the line we had to wait probably like a
Speaker 4: month to go because the line was just absolutely bonkers.
Speaker 4: I think it stretched around the shopping center that it
Speaker 4: was at, like for at for weeks, over a month,
Speaker 4: And I remember getting it, and man, my dad would
Speaker 4: tell me about it because he got stationed in Vegas
Speaker 4: a lot and it was straight out of the West Coast.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: Every time I bite into an In and Out Burger
Speaker 4: a double double, and I get an animal style in
Speaker 4: the fries animal style too, but so it takes me back.
Speaker 2: It's their traditional animal it's their traditional like burger double cheeseburger,
Speaker 2: but animal style is just like a type of way
Speaker 2: you can get it right.
Speaker 4: And it's secrets not on the menu. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 4: if you've heard of the Lord or the secret menu
Speaker 4: of In and Out Burger, haven't you? Oh yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 4: when you ask for that, there's only like five or
Speaker 4: six different things on the menu if you go to
Speaker 4: an in and out Burger, but you you have to
Speaker 4: know what to order.
Speaker 3: That's where the secret menu comes into play.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, all right, I'm gonna go and look, my
Speaker 2: my board has been has been pretty pretty consistent as
Speaker 2: far as you know, who I really like, the prospects
Speaker 2: that I really really trust. But there's there's there's been
Speaker 2: a late move here, at least on my on my part,
Speaker 2: to where I, you know, what I thought might be
Speaker 2: worthy of a second maybe even a third rounder. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's just because it sounds so delicious right now, I'm
Speaker 2: moving it up to take it in the first Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Taco Bell Chicken Caesadia ooh. I mean,
Speaker 2: I I don't know how popular they are, but like
Speaker 2: on my board, the sauce and like it's Taco Bell
Speaker 2: has a lot of good menu items, but to me,
Speaker 2: like I and it's why when I go to Taco Bell,
Speaker 2: my menu, my meal is now typically like way more expensive,
Speaker 2: triple quadrupleed amount that it was just year ago, because
Speaker 2: I'll get other stuff that like I want to try
Speaker 2: or something that I know that I like. But I
Speaker 2: can't go to Taco Bell without adding a casadia, which
Speaker 2: usually ends up in me eating enough, you know, by
Speaker 2: myself to feed my whole family, because you know, Taco
Speaker 2: Bell is just you know, it's that good. But I'm
Speaker 2: going chicken caesadia, and I do get the extra the
Speaker 2: extra creamy jalapeno sauce on it.
Speaker 4: That's that's the kicker. Yet I literally get it with
Speaker 4: light sauce on the audio. I used sometimes they can
Speaker 4: they can pour it on me.
Speaker 2: I used to do that too, and I just felt
Speaker 2: like it's a little too zesty, like a little too
Speaker 2: a little too bold. But now I've learned to know,
Speaker 2: like I need that sauce. It's that good.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, here's a question. Because I'm normally eating on
Speaker 4: my lap while driving, I never that I'm a sex
Speaker 4: a talent. I can't do that I am a psychopath,
Speaker 4: so like to reduce the risk of things spilling all
Speaker 4: over me and giving away the fact that I've eaten
Speaker 4: out before dinner and my fiance not finding out.
Speaker 3: You got to learn what you gotta do.
Speaker 4: So now that you say like I don't pre dinner
Speaker 4: case I I don't do.
Speaker 2: It because I don't do it because of you know,
Speaker 2: I worry about getting messy. But I now realize, like
Speaker 2: anything I get from Taco Bell, I'd have a tough
Speaker 2: time eat, Like you would have to get that light
Speaker 2: sauce because it's a messy eat. It's a messy meal.
Speaker 2: And any talk, anything I get at Taco Bell, other
Speaker 2: than maybe the nacho fries, I wouldn't be able to eat,
Speaker 2: like in the car even if I'm not driving. And
Speaker 2: there's also another one that's on my board that that like,
Speaker 2: I gotta be sitting down and I might as well,
Speaker 2: like you use one of my kids bibs, because it's
Speaker 2: gonna be messy, but it's gonna be worth it. So
Speaker 2: we got we got first round. In the books, Austin
Speaker 2: went within an out burger animal style, I'm going Chicken
Speaker 2: ca City at Taco Bell with the extra Kriaby Alipino.
Speaker 2: Who's who you got in round two?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stay with Taco Bell and I'm gonna move
Speaker 4: over to It's It's like in the fantasy draft. Once
Speaker 4: it's now start to feel panicked, right, you see someone
Speaker 4: take a kick or a defense high, I gotta go
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 2: You think it's coincidence. Why that you've seen some drafts
Speaker 2: NBA or NFL where you see two guys from the
Speaker 2: same college drafted back to back. It's because, oh, you're right,
Speaker 2: team was pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so might as well. I'm in Taco Bell. Make
Speaker 4: fun of it all you want, but it's always been
Speaker 4: clutch to go with. I think, what is the single
Speaker 4: greatest food item possibly ever produced?
Speaker 3: And that's a crunch trap? Supreme? Okay, I love the
Speaker 3: crunch traps.
Speaker 2: Those are really really popular. Are now? Are those the
Speaker 2: items that they took away and then brought back and
Speaker 2: everybody got all excited?
Speaker 4: No, no, those weren't the load of potato, I thought, No, No,
Speaker 4: Mexican pizza went away.
Speaker 3: For a while.
Speaker 2: Yes, my wife it was a It was a tragic
Speaker 2: experience for her when she realized the Mexican pizza was gone,
Speaker 2: and then when they brought it back. I think she
Speaker 2: ate it like eight times a day.
Speaker 3: I don't even think it was the same, just like
Speaker 3: it never was.
Speaker 2: Right, So crunch Trap Supreme from Taco Bell around number two,
Speaker 2: good stuff. I'm going to go with a little plain Jane.
Speaker 2: But man, you know, I like what I like. I
Speaker 2: know what's gonna work with my organization. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, it's not flashy, it's uh, you know
Speaker 2: some some might not even say that it's that special,
Speaker 2: But you know what, I know, I know what. I
Speaker 2: know what it takes to be successful in our in
Speaker 2: our own organization here. So in round two, I'm going
Speaker 2: with the double cheeseburger at McDonald's.
Speaker 3: Oh, always clutch.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the double cheese. I get it plain
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, it's never it's never bad, but
Speaker 2: when it's good, like it's I mean, I just I
Speaker 2: need to I need to take a moment and just
Speaker 2: sit down and just and just take in the fact
Speaker 2: that I just had a fast food burger that's probably
Speaker 2: in no way in any I mean, it's not good
Speaker 2: for me at all, but man, it's real. But it Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but it's good.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 2: So the double why do you get a plane? I
Speaker 2: don't have I get everything plain.
Speaker 4: Okay, well I'm the same thing, so there, so so
Speaker 4: eat like a nine year old.
Speaker 2: So check this out. On the burger, all I need
Speaker 2: is meat and cheese on any sandwich. I'm not getting
Speaker 2: any lettuce, tomato, nothing. So well, so I thought I
Speaker 2: was playing Jane. And I always used to say that
Speaker 2: I have the palette of like of a toddler. But
Speaker 2: then when John produced for me, did you know he
Speaker 2: doesn't eat any sauce. He eats any sauce, salad, no dressing, pancakes,
Speaker 2: no syrup.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: No? He became a bit on the show because like
Speaker 2: I said, man, like, you know, how do you do that?
Speaker 3: I said?
Speaker 2: People like what they like. But I'm like, I'm letting
Speaker 2: you know because I care about you. If you tell
Speaker 2: people that they are going to one thousand percent, assume
Speaker 2: you are a great a psychopath. Psych that is psychotic behavior.
Speaker 2: So you know here I we're exotic compared to him
Speaker 2: as far as I'm paying. Yeah, I mean I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't you know, ranch and ketchup for certain dipping.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm playing. I'm mister. I'm a plain Jane guy.
Speaker 4: I like, Yeah, I hate onions, I hate tomatoes, I
Speaker 4: hate lettuce. Well, I've actually found out I've grown a
Speaker 4: palette for liking some like like I like healthy foods.
Speaker 4: I've turned out I really like asparagus. I really do
Speaker 4: love spinach, and like I like it in a salad.
Speaker 4: I don't like it on anything. I also hate like
Speaker 4: shredded lettuce and romain lettuce, Like I hate that kind
Speaker 4: of salad. I don't know what it is, but like,
Speaker 4: I don't mind a salad. I don't like that stuff.
Speaker 4: I like salad, taco, my burger.
Speaker 2: So I've learned that I actually do like like green peppers,
Speaker 2: bell peppers. I clearly like lettuce enough to have salad.
Speaker 2: I don't like onions as far as the texture of them,
Speaker 2: but certainly they do add flavored to things. But I
Speaker 2: don't like I've enjoyed burgers and sandwiches for my whole
Speaker 2: life without it, So yes, I've developed that I don't
Speaker 2: I've learned that I can't eat it on its own
Speaker 2: and it's not bad, but like, I don't need to
Speaker 2: add it at this point in the game, the burger's
Speaker 2: good to me without any of that stuff on it.
Speaker 4: Now, Now, do you hate like or do you have
Speaker 4: to like regret when asking, Yeah, I'd like to get
Speaker 4: this burger, but can I get it without the lettuce, tomato,
Speaker 4: the onions?
Speaker 3: And then just watch the server's face go.
Speaker 2: So that's a great question because I went to lunch
Speaker 2: with my wife and I got Buffalo Chicken mini's and huh,
Speaker 2: it's a Buffalo chicken mini sandwich and it came with lettuce, tomato,
Speaker 2: and pickle, and I said, I want it plain. And
Speaker 2: I just never know if it didn't used to be
Speaker 2: a thing, but now it's like a fifty to fifty
Speaker 2: if I get it with no buffalo sauce. Well, I
Speaker 2: didn't order many chicken and I you know, so I
Speaker 2: just assume it's a given that I want the buffalo
Speaker 2: sauce on there, you know what I mean. And if
Speaker 2: I say cheeseburger, I now say just the cheese, because
Speaker 2: at times I'll say plain. But I feel like if
Speaker 2: you order a cheeseburger and you get it plain because
Speaker 2: you said cheeseburger and not a hamburger, it's a given
Speaker 2: that you want the cheese, right, absolutely, but sometimes there's
Speaker 2: a little bit of a disconnect. So like what I
Speaker 2: do now is just to not be passive aggressive or
Speaker 2: like to make it seem like I'm being pushy. I'll
Speaker 2: ben like, after everybody's taken an order, did I Ever'm
Speaker 2: going to tell you that I wanted it? Just plain
Speaker 2: just to kind of let them know, like just to
Speaker 2: emphasize what I really want.
Speaker 3: Round three?
Speaker 2: What do you got?
Speaker 3: We're doing four? Three?
Speaker 2: Is this this fourfeat?
Speaker 3: This is three?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Three?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Three?
Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha? So this is my last pick?
Speaker 2: We're doing four? Oh okay, that's why? Ok Okay, well
Speaker 2: I get what you mean now. I thought you meant
Speaker 2: was I asking? Was this the fourth round? Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: gonna do four. We'll do four picks, and this is
Speaker 2: your third one.
Speaker 4: Since I since I've lived in Arizona all my life,
Speaker 4: And it was the same way of me trying to
Speaker 4: tell Arizona people what this was like back then as
Speaker 4: I do to people that live here in Louisville what
Speaker 4: it is to Arizona. I just love going through the
Speaker 4: White Castle, dry through and.
Speaker 2: Get that's a good that's a good third round value
Speaker 2: right there, not bad, that's a good so just just
Speaker 2: this classic white Castle and.
Speaker 3: Guess what, sometimes I'll tell them to scrape those onions off.
Speaker 3: I just I just want that plane and that.
Speaker 2: I've learned that I can't eat them and be fine,
Speaker 2: but yes, I prefer them without the onions. Now they
Speaker 2: put a pick they put a pickle on it. When
Speaker 2: I tell them, no pickle, I'm calling the cops. Oh
Speaker 2: that's just that's just what.
Speaker 3: We go saucy to the dousel door sauce no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I just I.
Speaker 2: Just go straight, uh straight burger and cheese.
Speaker 3: Useel door will change your life.
Speaker 2: So those standard white Castle burgers they don't come. Do
Speaker 2: they come with cheese or do you have to like
Speaker 2: you have thought, Yeah, to me, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2: But you know, white Castle is certainly unique. All right,
Speaker 2: So white Castle sliders, right, that's that's your So my
Speaker 2: third round, this is the one I mentioned that like
Speaker 2: I probably need to be hosed down after I eat
Speaker 2: it because it could be real messy. But it is.
Speaker 2: It is an Arby's beef and sheddar and it's because
Speaker 2: it does have, of course, that the delicious cheddar cheese.
Speaker 2: It's got like a red onion ranch kind of sauce
Speaker 2: on it, but I loaded up in Arby's sauce too,
Speaker 2: So the beef and cheddar, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, Arby's gets way too much.
Speaker 2: I got to finance it to eat it, because you know,
Speaker 2: even before everything became expensive, you know, it was. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a different planet in price. And I don't eat
Speaker 2: there often because I don't eat a lot of fast food.
Speaker 2: Not because like I'm a health snow, but I just
Speaker 2: you know, I'm at a point now where if I
Speaker 2: eat a lot of fast if I eat fast food,
Speaker 2: certain items like I just feel like crap. So anyways,
Speaker 2: beef and cheddar. I went on like a five year
Speaker 2: hiatus from the beef and cheddar because I hate one.
Speaker 2: In New Orleans the morning, it was late at night,
Speaker 2: but it was the night Louisville and the Sugar Bowl,
Speaker 2: and we were roaming around Bourbon Street needed food. I
Speaker 2: went to the Arby's on Bourbon Street and I ended
Speaker 2: up eating a sandwich and it was the beef and cheddar,
Speaker 2: and I realized that the roast beef was crunchy like
Speaker 2: and that wasn't good and I got food poisoning. So
Speaker 2: I did not eat beef and cheddar for a long time,
Speaker 2: but then I had one. I finally had the stone stack,
Speaker 2: you know, tried it again and I fell back in
Speaker 2: love with it, so Bee and shuddered. Delicious stuff. That's
Speaker 2: my third pick. What about your last pick?
Speaker 3: My last one?
Speaker 4: I feel like I gotta go with something sweet right here,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna hate who I'm bumping off the top
Speaker 4: the topic for it. We can go to our undrafted
Speaker 4: free agents, but I'm gonna go with something sweet.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the uh blizzard from Dairy Queen.
Speaker 2: Okay, blizzard from DQ.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's nothing better than a hot day getting and
Speaker 4: they have all sorts. They got a Snickers Blizzard, Reces, Skittles,
Speaker 4: eminem and and they just they had their they have
Speaker 4: their flavors of the month and it's just and they
Speaker 4: do the thing where they dump it upside down for
Speaker 4: you and I get it's amazing stuff. DQ blizzard.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 2: So I am really torn here with what I what
Speaker 2: I've got kind of on the radar, and I was
Speaker 2: gonna go I mean, I'll just tell you what I
Speaker 2: was gonna do. I was really close to uh to
Speaker 2: taking taking rally spries. Oh yes, but I think I
Speaker 2: gotta go. Chick fil a Icy chicken sandwich. Oh, yes,
Speaker 2: really good, the spicy. I love the Chick fil A
Speaker 2: spicy chicken sandwich. It's just the perfect amount of perfect
Speaker 2: amount of spice and uh, Chick fil A delicious. Clearly,
Speaker 2: it's popular for good reason. Chick fil A is and
Speaker 2: you always seem to want it on Sunday when you
Speaker 2: can't get it. It's it's it's the truth.
Speaker 4: It's evil magic, you know, you know the one that
Speaker 4: I left off in which maybe I should have just
Speaker 4: put it on here because I feel terrible.
Speaker 2: We could. Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: great talent that doesn't get drafted.
Speaker 4: But the first one that comes to mind that I
Speaker 4: had to just because everything else was there for me
Speaker 4: when I was a kid. But the well just miss
Speaker 4: a cut. Our friends at Thornton's a sausage and cheese.
Speaker 4: But you can't beat it, goodness, you can't beat it.
Speaker 4: It was but that should show you where they rank it.
Speaker 4: But I love food, clearly.
Speaker 2: What what fast food restaurant is? I don't want to
Speaker 2: say like it's super popular, but you know there's a
Speaker 2: ton of them, like outside of outside of McDonald's and
Speaker 2: subway and places that are just every on every corner
Speaker 2: in America. Like, there's a lot of these, but you
Speaker 2: just don't. It's not that you don't like it, you
Speaker 2: just never eat it. I'll give you wine.
Speaker 3: Probably for me. Culver's. I love Culver's.
Speaker 2: There's not that many, but Culver's isn't like I'm I
Speaker 2: haven't had Wendy's in ten years.
Speaker 3: That's a good one too, Yes, Wendy's, I haven't had
Speaker 3: it forever.
Speaker 2: And Wendy's is fine, but there was never an item
Speaker 2: that like hooked me to where I made it at
Speaker 2: the regular rotation for fast food to where like I'm
Speaker 2: not anti Wendy's, that's just it's not. I don't go
Speaker 2: there very often. In another place, I mean, I can't
Speaker 2: tell you the last time I had KFC. But when
Speaker 2: I do, it's good, you know. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: never think to go there. The one in our area
Speaker 2: is not it's it's it's not great. So maybe that's
Speaker 2: why I just never never go. But yeah, now, was
Speaker 2: I right? We're hungry, aren't we?
Speaker 3: Uh much? We're hungry? I need me, I need me
Speaker 3: some in and out so bad.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm hungry all right quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 2: and wrap it up on the other side right here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine.
Speaker 2: Day final segment before we get out of here for
Speaker 2: the weekend. Thank you guys for hanging out with us
Speaker 2: on a Friday afternoon. I didn't mention this earlier in
Speaker 2: the show, and I meant to. There's not a whole
Speaker 2: lot to really add to it, but former loulov A
Speaker 2: quarterback Pierce Clarkson did not have a long stay in Oxford.
Speaker 2: He has entered the portal once again. So he's one
Speaker 2: of those guys that transferred in the spring and you know,
Speaker 2: realized I guess after spring ball that he was not
Speaker 2: in a situation that he felt like was good for him.
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I would imagine it's just because
Speaker 2: that that never really made sense to me, because I
Speaker 2: feel like with Lane Kiffin, how he wants to run
Speaker 2: an offense that you know, Pierce, even if he does
Speaker 2: end up being really successful, I just don't think the
Speaker 2: fit was there. And honestly, I think that was a
Speaker 2: factor with Jeff as well, So you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: if this means like he's gonna have to take like
Speaker 2: a big step down because he's had the realization that
Speaker 2: he's not as good to play at the power for
Speaker 2: as as he thought. That may be the case, but
Speaker 2: I just think a freshman quarterback, like not even a freshman,
Speaker 2: but just like a first year starter at quarterback is
Speaker 2: gonna be rare because now coaches don't have to risk
Speaker 2: it and throw a guy out there even that they
Speaker 2: even if they think they're talented. Most coaches, who you know,
Speaker 2: it's their livelihood. They're coaching because it's their job and
Speaker 2: they want to win games. It's what they have to
Speaker 2: do to keep their job. If you know, you don't
Speaker 2: have to go with a quarterback that's never started and
Speaker 2: won a game, you probably won't, right, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just think just like in basketball, you know, there's
Speaker 2: gonna be freshmen that really if they want to show
Speaker 2: what they can do and then end up at some
Speaker 2: point in their college career playing at a really, really
Speaker 2: high level. If you're not one of those guys that
Speaker 2: you know, a top ten, top fifteen player, like you
Speaker 2: might be better off to go to a lower level
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't have gone to ten years ago because
Speaker 2: you want the opportunity to play and show what you
Speaker 2: can do, and then that's your big that's your big jump.
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't know where peer sins up.
Speaker 2: But I mean if I was advising a quarterback, which
Speaker 2: I wouldn't, they wouldn't ask me to advise them on
Speaker 2: what to do. But I feel like this day at
Speaker 2: age like you can have all the highlights, all the accolades,
Speaker 2: all the writeups about how good you are as a prospect,
Speaker 2: but if you've never started a game and there's no
Speaker 2: proof that you have shown you can win at a
Speaker 2: high level, at a high level of college football, are
Speaker 2: going to go get go to the portal and get
Speaker 2: a guy that they know has played against power for teams,
Speaker 2: that they know has valuable experience. So it's not like
Speaker 2: it's not an indictment that these guys aren't as good
Speaker 2: as everybody thought they were. It's just I mean, it
Speaker 2: makes sense for a coach to look at his options
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, I think this guy could eventually be good,
Speaker 2: but I don't know because he's never been out there. Well,
Speaker 2: the only way you're going to know is if you
Speaker 2: put him out there. But there could also be the
Speaker 2: risk that they're not as good as you need him
Speaker 2: to be. And yet you have guys in the portal
Speaker 2: that are you know, juniors and seniors that have played
Speaker 2: a lot of football. So you know, that's one of
Speaker 2: those things with the new world about college athletics that
Speaker 2: don't I don't hear a whole lot about meaning, I
Speaker 2: don't hear other people realize that like getting your first
Speaker 2: opportunity to play valuable minutes for a really good program
Speaker 2: in any sport, it's just not going to be as
Speaker 2: easy because coaches who you know, it's their job to win,
Speaker 2: they can go build the roster in the portal and
Speaker 2: get guys that it's not as big of a risk
Speaker 2: because they've played, they've proven it, and really it's just
Speaker 2: more than anything, getting that chance to prove it is
Speaker 2: harder now than it's ever been in So hope the
Speaker 2: best for pears are just I don't really have a
Speaker 2: clue where he may end up now, And if he
Speaker 2: goes to a low level, it doesn't mean that he
Speaker 2: was a bust. It just might mean that's his best
Speaker 2: chance to show somebody that he's that he that he
Speaker 2: can play and get valuable experience. All right, we're out
Speaker 2: of here. You guys have a good weekend. We're back
Speaker 2: at it on Monday for Derby Week. It should be
Speaker 2: a lot of fun, so looking forward to it. Take care,
